Connector mounting structure

Abstract

A connector mounting structure is disclosed that includes a connector mounted on a substrate. The connector includes plural connector rows that are arranged into a laminated structure. The connector rows include plural connector units that are arranged into rows. The positions of the connector units of a first connector row of the laminated connector rows are shifted with respect to the positions of the connector units of a second connector row that is arranged above the first connector row.

1 . A connector mounting structure, comprising:
 a connector mounted on a substrate and including a plurality of connector rows that are arranged into a laminated structure, the connector rows including a plurality of connector units that are arranged into rows;   wherein positions of the connector units of a first connector row of the laminated connector rows are shifted with respect to positions of the connector units of a second connector row that is arranged above the first connector row.   
   
   
       2 . The connector mounting structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connector includes at least three connector rows, and the connector units include a plurality of leads that are connected to the one single substrate on which the connector is mounted. 
   
   
       3 . The connector mounting structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the connector units is arranged to engage a plug including a lock release piece. 
   
   
       4 . The connector mounting structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the connector units corresponds to a RJ-45 connector. 
   
   
       5 . The connector mounting structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a combined height of the laminated connector rows and the substrate is arranged to correspond to an integer multiple of a U pitch. 
   
   
       6 . An electronic apparatus, comprising:
 a substrate; and   a connector mounted on the substrate and including a plurality of connector rows that are arranged into a laminated structure, the connector rows including a plurality of connector units that are arranged into rows;   wherein positions of the connector units of a first connector row of the laminated connector rows are shifted with respect to positions of the connector units of a second connector row that is arranged above the first connector row.
